LITTLE DOTS

What else does the infinite consist of other than the incalculability of little dots?

—Robert Walser

The things we know

cannot be applied.

Dots, say. With dots

inside.

Walls of shelves of

jars of dots equal

one dot.

So no one is poor

nor are they lost

if they roll on the

floor.

DRAGON’S TEETH

Let the poet’s voice lose all its measure and joints, its character will not be changed by this; even the fragments will be beautiful.

—Montaigne

A small wallet

of dragon’s teeth

is so potent that

one wonders why

forces are raised

any other way.

The sower has a

crop of soldiers

in under a day.

Nonetheless

interest in

packets of these

pointed seeds stays

unaccountably low

across the

many fields

where they

would grow.
